Abraham Lincoln challenged any man to look into the star-filled night sky and tell him there was no Creator. Most of the great minds of human history have believed in a God, but somehow, today, everybody who isn't a fundamentalist Bible-thumper just "knows" the Deity isn't there.
Listen - you are alive, you are self-aware, you exist in a solar system and universe that is carefully balanced to support life. If that is not proof of God, it is as least evidence that a creator is responsible.
